Her aunt Vella, a gifted but troubled soul, told her years ag... more »o to keep her talents a secret. And now that poor Aunt Vella - her last blood relative - has died, Raine has resigned herself to a lonely life. But when she journeys to Shelbyville, Washington, to clear out her aunt?s house - trying to ignore the locals? comments about the ?witch? and the ?crazy lady? - Raine?s highly developed sensitivity leads her to a horrifying discovery: a young woman, bound and terrified, in a basement storage locker. The victim has survived, and the culprit is on the loose. Without warning, a new man enters Raine?s life - investigator Zack Jones. Surprisingly, Zack isn?t repelled by her powers: in fact, he has his own. While Raine hears voices, Zack sees visions, and within hours of their meeting, Raine experiences an intense, thrilling intimacy - mental, emotional, and physical - that she never dared to expect. There?s one complication, however: Zack Jones is working for the Arcane Society. This secret organization, dedicated to the study of paranormal phenomena, shattered Raine?s family with an act of betrayal long ago, and she?s not about to trust them now. As a killer makes her his target, and a cabal of psychic criminals known as Nightshade operates in the shadows surrounding them, Raine and Zack must rely not only on their powerful abilities but on each other as well. Running Hot: Ex-cop Luther Malone, lifelong member of the secretive paranormal organization known as the Arcane Society, is waiting to meet Grace Renquist. Hired as an aura-reading consultant in the quest for a murder suspect, she?s got zero field experience. She?s from tiny Eclipse Bay, Oregon. She?s a librarian, for heaven?s sake. As for Grace, she?s not expecting much, either, from Malone, who walks with a cane and isn?t so good with a gun. Nice résumé for a bodyguard. But even before they reach their hotel in Maui ? where they?ll be posing as honeymooners ? Grace and Luther feel the electric charge between them. Problem is, they need to remain vigilant day and night; because it soon becomes clear there?s more going on here. Rogue sensitives ? operatives for the underground group Nightshade ? are pouring into the luxury resort as if there?s a convention. Grace recognizes those dark spikes in their auras. And she understands how dangerous these people can be...especially with those para-hunters at their sides. As Grace knows all too well, if you don?t control your powers, your powers will control you.« less
